Still looking for one!

Perhaps the worst decision ever made by Aermotor. Whoever made that call deserves a punch in the face when time travel becomes reality. The only saving grace is that the head is just barely thick enough that a good vice grips will hold it.

Jud , thanks for sharing the Trade Fair photo .

you're welcome, Mike


Yep Judd you and your brother both definitely need to get some of your mills restored. I know TWO right off the top of my head that are pretty darn RARE.

For sure, we've only got about 10% restored, we gotta pick up the ...

Where was that located?

Found hiding in a big cottonwood tree in southern MN. We displayed at the 2015 trade fair just as it was found. Sadly, it's still not restored yet- need to stop restoring mills for others and take time to design the wheel for it since no patterns came with it.


I would ...

For a second there I thought another Terrible Swede had been found! Just an Eclipse though as mentioned. Here's the only Terrible Swede I'm aware of that has been discovered.

Sorry for your loss- sending thoughts and prayers for you and family. I'm glad I had a chance to know him and we'll miss having him at the trade fairs.

I sent a text and he replied right away. I'm sure he would appreciate more messages. Contact info is in the Trade Fair section like Wayne said.

Anyone close to or in MN have these? Trying to repair a tower need a few of each. I have dimensions and quantities if someone has any parts for one of these towers. Tower is for an 6ft or 8ft mill (the 2-1/4 main leg width).

Check with Loren Lockman, he has restored several RR Eclipse mills. PM me if you need his number.
